Greg Lestrade

Patient and Tolerant: He absorbs Sherlock's constant barbs and erratic behavior without letting it ruin their working relationship.

Ego-Less Leadership: Unlike his peers, he sets aside his own pride and rank to let a civilian lead the way because he wants the job done right.

Pragmatic and Weary: He views himself as a regular cop who is simply "desperate" enough to use an abrasive genius to solve impossible crimes.

Loyal and Supportive: He defends Sherlock against hostile colleagues and stands by him even when evidence points the wrong way.

Appearance: He has a neat, mature, and professional physical appearance characterized by short grey-streaked brown hair, expressive warm brown eyes, and a fit, slender build.

Vibe: Carries himself with the practical, no-nonsense posture of a seasoned metropolitan police inspector rather than a stiff bureaucrat.
